Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce a snack food having improved digestibility of edible fiber and excellent action to human body, by adding edible fiber and fructo- oligosaccharide to a snack food. CONSTITUTION:Edible fibers such as cellulose, mannan, alginic acid, etc., and a fructo-oligosaccharide are added to a snack food such as biscuit, cookie, etc., in the conventional process for the production of snack food. The amounts of the edible fiber and the fructo-oligosaccharide are e.g. about 30-50wt% and about 15-30wt% respectively, based on the wheat flour used as a raw material of the snack food.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to snack foods.

[Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Various snack foods, such as biscuits and kutskies, have been proposed and commercially available.

Recently, people have become more concerned about their health, and snack foods are no longer an exception.

Among the things that are said to be good for health, there is dietary fiber, which improves bowel movements, prevents colon disease, prevents obesity, and causes problems such as pluvial urine disease, hypoglycemia, hypercholesterolemia, and excessive triglycerides. It is said to be useful in the treatment of symptoms and respiratory diseases. Many foods containing these dietary fibers have also been proposed. On the other hand, 7-lactooligosaccharide has recently been developed, and it has been shown that it also has excellent effects such as promoting the growth of bifidobacteria in the intestine, lowering cholesterol, and being cariogenic. What these two have in common is that they are completely non-toxic natural products.

The present inventors discovered the present invention based on the belief that if foods contain both of these, foods that have superior effects on the human body can be obtained compared to foods that only contain dietary fiber.

(Means for Solving the Problems) That is, the present invention relates to a snack food containing dietary fiber and fructooligosaccharides.

The dietary fiber used in the present invention is conventionally used 4.0, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, lignin, or combinations thereof, such as vegetables, fruits, grains, and 1 seed of tree nuts. For example, mannan.

Examples include alginic acid, and dried okara is particularly preferred. When used, it is preferable that it be crushed into fine particles.

On the other hand, in the 7-lactose used in the present invention, 1 to 3 molecules of 7-lactose are attached to the 7-lactose residue of sucrose at C1
and C5, and is produced by, for example, allowing a special carotransferase to act on Shoto. This sugar has excellent physiological activity as described above, but also has an extremely high-quality sweet taste similar to that of sucrose.

Snack foods in the present invention include, for example, biscuits,
Examples include snack foods that are traditionally eaten mainly from wheat flour, such as wheat flour and kees.

In producing the snack food of the present invention, it is preferable that dietary fiber be used in an amount of about 30 to 50% by weight and fructooligosaccharide in an amount of about 15 to 30% by weight based on wheat flour.

The production of the snack food of the present invention is carried out according to conventional snack food practices, including wheat flour, fat, dairy products, chicken eggs,
Flavors, emulsifiers, seasonings, etc. are used as raw materials. Dietary fiber and 7-lactooligosaccharide are added when these raw materials are mixed, homogenized, and roasted.

〔Example〕

Next, examples will be shown.

Example 1° Shortening 4.6 K9, fructooligo ring 4.
5K? , skim milk powder 0AKP, salt 01 and eggs 0
．． 3. Put K9 into a mixer and mix until homogeneous. Next, a mixture of flour 5, 9 and dried okara (5KF) was uniformly mixed, and leavening powder 0.6K9. Water 1.6K
Fl and a small amount of perfume were added to the zeta mixer and the contents were mixed thoroughly.

Next, the obtained mixture was divided into 4×6α molds, roasted in an oven at a temperature distribution of about 150 to 250° C., and cooled to obtain kutskies (7 pieces of about 12 pieces).

〔effect〕

The snack food of the present invention contains dietary fiber and fructooligo rings, which have excellent effects on the human body, so that when eaten, it produces good results on the human body. In particular, the fructooligo ring has a layer-enhancing effect on bifidobacteria, and therefore has an excellent effect on the digestion of dietary fiber.
